While many were handling some last minute school shopping on Sunday, Aug. 25 the Brothers of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. – Theta Alpha chapter were providing free haircuts and school supplies to the underprivileged young boys of the South Dallas community. With the theme: “A Fresh Style for the Next Educated Mile,” more than 25 youth received free haircuts to help boost their pride as they prepared for their first day of school.
Sunday’s event took place at the Big Boys Cuts and Styles Barbershop located at 3330 Hatcher St in Dallas. The Chapter President Brother Ty Burnett declared, “this is what the Omegas are all about…giving back to our community.”
Founded on Nov. 17, 1911 at Howard University, in Washington, D.C., the purpose of this fraternal organization is to make a positive impact in the community. A goal they continue to strive to throughout the year.
